We’ve previously talked about how sex can burn calories and exactly how many calories can be burnt, so why not get into talking about which positions.

Yes, that’s right, certain sex positions can burn more calories than others while maximising the blasting of belly fat!

It’s not only the position that effects how much belly fat you burn, but it’s also about how vigorous you are doing it, and how long you are doing it for.

So, the more energy you put in, the more belly fat will be blasted. Let’s get going!

The 4 most energy-consuming sex positions to lose belly fat

This information has been adapted from Instant Knockout.

1. Standing

When in this standing position you have to work twice as hard as you would if lying down. Bracing your core to support your own weight is a workout in itself. You’ll be moving many muscles especially your calves and glutes! Hello peach bum.

2. Missionary position

Although this one might be associated with a less adventurous love life, missionary is a great calorie burner. It works the glutes, inner thighs and core muscles and dependant on the exact position you adopt, can also work your arms too.

3. Cowgirl

If you want to maximise calorie burn and target your inner thighs, glutes and abs the cowgirl is the way forward. And throw in quads and hamstrings too if you decide to use a ‘squat variation’ position.

You could even approach it in ‘interval’ training if you wanted to. 1, 2, 3, go!

4. Doggystyle

In this primal position, your partner will get a great workout for his glutes and core, whilst for you, it’s especially tough on the triceps, chest, core and legs! All in all, it’s a great position for racking up that calorie expenditure.
